Dear Dong and VMDers,
Thank you very much! I had thought so, but an error arises as presented below. Thus, this might be due to that psf file is not provided. How to deal with this problem?

No PSF file loaded. I'll go ahead and do the coarse graining, but it might not work properly. You might want to run again after loading a PSF file.
